Character Name: Reno Canon: Final Fantasy VII compilation Age: Unknown, assumed ~27 Gender: Male
Canon Point: Post-Advent Children Complete History:Here Personality:
Cool and casual, Reno is a cocky and cynical guy with a tendency to be lazy and flippant about his business. He is a Turk in the ShinRa company, which are a particular division that often do the "dirty work" such as spying, kidnappings... shady type of things. And Reno is the perfect figure for the job, being quite the sly and shady type himself. He both takes great pride in his work and is very good at it, incredibly competent, befitting his high rank (he is just below Tseng on the Turk ladder). However, it is made clear that Reno views his job as simply a job, and has no interest in pursuing Shinra's ideals while off-duty. This is shown when he is on vacation in Wutai with two of his co-workers, Elena and long-time partner Rude. There is an incident and Shinra soldiers interrupt his drinking party at the bar to request assistance from the Turks, but Reno refuses, saying that he is off-duty and going to enjoy his vacation. When Elena disagrees with this attitude and runs off to help she is kidnapped, Reno shows that he is not above teaming up with his enemies to achieve a common goal. Once the rescue mission is complete he's given orders over radio to eliminate Cloud and his party, but chooses not to as they are, in fact, off-duty. He's sort of the "dubious allegiance" type of character; neither compassionate nor downright malicious, carrying out his orders when he sees fit to but is also neither flippant about what he's asked to do in the face of his boss, either. Actually, he's quite loyal to the people who have his respect and will go out of his way to assist them if he deems it necessary.
... and then he goes off to enjoy his drunkening some more. Reno is quite the boozehound, apparently, and at times can come off as unprofessional (just look at the messy way he wears his Shinra uniform, unbuttoned with the shirt hanging out, no tie—for shame!). Fortunately, he most certainly has the ability to back up both his work ethic and his combat abilities when it comes down to it, in spite of appearances. However, he would much rather be doing things he enjoys, such as piloting helicopters, playing pool, gambling, and gossiping (he has quite the ear for gossip, and as such never seems to say a whole lot about himself because he tends to be more interested in other people's businesses, such as constantly discussing with Rude who this or that person in the Turks likes).
In battle he is nimble and aggressive, often striking underhandedly and without warning. Able to scale (or, rather, run) up the sides of buildings like a human squirrel and do all kinds of otherwise physics-defying stunts, he's a nightmare to keep up with and has a lot of energy as well. He fights with a long, retractable metal nightstick called the Electro-Mag Rod, but can also command some use over various kinds of Materia. He prefers to fight head-on, though. "Just hit it and quit it," as they say. He's not above using foul means to reach an end, which serves him well as his job often calls for "foul means" to be used in the first place. He's also quite persistent, regardless of how much of a beating he takes, but he definitely knows when to quit (after getting his ass handed to him in Midgar by Cloud's gang he takes off like a bat out of hell, just in time for the bomb he planted to detonate and destroy the pillar. He waits quite some time to return and "repay the favor," however).
By the end of Advent Children he's been diluted into more of a comedic relief type of character, a bit more of a joker who evidently likes flashy things and bears no ill will toward his former enemies (even going so far as to say to Cloud that they are "buddies," potentially sarcastic though that may have been). He does have his serious moments, however, and is prone to occasional bouts of egotism. He's more or less a decent guy at heart, but will laugh it off if one were to insinuate as much. When he takes action at the behest of his boss, Rufus Shinra, that's that, and the excuse "because we're Turks" or "because it's our job" is a card he pulls out often. But he won't go looking for fights if he feels they're unnecessary. After Shinra was obliterated by Diamond Weapon and Meteor he tells Elena that Shinra is "finished," and why bother going through with the orders to engage Cloud in yet another fight? He's level-headed, always cool.
When he does get fired up (which isn't all that difficult, if you know what buttons to push—such as Yazoo calling him and his partner "uninformed peons"), he's almost constantly got his stoic and sensible partner, Rude, to back him up. The two of them usually function as two halves of a whole, and are rarely, if ever, seen fighting apart. Since Rufus is his boss and therefore automatically due his loyalty, Rude is possibly the only person that Reno really trusts and respects of his own volition, but, like Reno, Rude doesn't talk about himself much and Reno never really pries (except for the "so who do you liiiiike" question and stupid stuff like that). They know each other well without having to say much at all.
That sort of detached but not necessarily cold attitude that Reno displays toward most things and people pretty much sums him up in a nutshell.
Powers: Reno doesn't particularly have any actual powers—he uses materia and an electro mag rod. He's very, very dextrous and nimble, maybe a little unnaturally so, but other than that he's just your average dude.
